Presentation

Discuss about how the children can help out in school:

Assisting with shoes: older children always seem to enjoy helping younger children to master skills that they have already learnt themselves. the Directress should encourage this sort of cooperation; it is much more productive than if the Directress steps in and takes over.

Holding doors open: The Directress should stress the importance of this activity for reasons both of courtesy and safety. Children can hold doors open when groups come in from the garden, etc.

Helping someone who has hurt himself: The Directress should teach by example and encourage children to become involved and to show concern, kindness and calm behavior.

Sharing heavy load: At clearing up time, the Directress should show the children how to carry tables, etc together.

Serving good at snack or mealtime.

Children should learn to enjoy serving each other graciously.
